May 2025
There’s something about Star Wars: Rebellion that I just can’t shake. I’ve played countless strategy games over the years—some flashier, some with better graphics, some boasting more modern UIs—but Rebellion holds a place in my heart that few games ever could. It has that rare charm, that intangible magic that modern titles often seem to lack. Every time I return to it—and I do, regularly—it’s like revisiting an old friend. A somewhat clunky, eccentric friend, sure, but one with depth, personality, and stories to tell. I always play as the Empire. There’s just something deeply satisfying about slowly and methodically conquering the galaxy, system by system, with the Imperial March playing in my head. The pace of the game is perfect for when I want to unwind. It’s not about flashy action or twitch reflexes—it’s about planning, scheming, managing resources, and executing long-term strategies. I’ll kick back with a drink, set my fleet on a course, and bask in that oddly soothing feeling of sending Darth Vader on a diplomatic mission or constructing yet another Death Star. What I love most is that Rebellion doesn’t hold your hand. It throws you into the thick of a galactic power struggle and says, “Figure it out.” And that’s part of the charm. It trusts you to learn, to experiment, to make mistakes. It lets you craft your own narrative within the Star Wars universe, which makes every playthrough feel unique. One game I’ll win through sheer brute force, the next through espionage and political subversion. Yes, the interface is dated. Yes, some might find the learning curve steep or the gameplay slow by modern standards. But for those of us who grew up with it—or who just appreciate deep, thoughtful strategy games with a ton of soul—it’s an absolute classic. A cult masterpiece. I’ve tried to find its equal, but no game quite scratches the same itch. It captures the spirit of Star Wars not just through its characters and setting, but through its tone. You feel like a grand strategist behind the scenes, pulling strings and shaping the fate of the galaxy. In short: Star Wars: Rebellion is my comfort game. It’s where I go when I want to escape, when I want to lose myself in a slow burn of galactic conquest, when I want to be reminded that sometimes older games do it better. Long live the Empire.

A classic. I would love to see this game updated without changing mechanics. But I will absolutely play Rebellion until CPUs can't read the files anymore. Great Game!!

This old game originally was meant for the windows 98 system. For its time, the complexity it had rivaled ALL video games - didn't matter what type of gaming system you had. As graphics became better, no one was interested in this game anymore, but I am glad it has held on. If you have read other forums, you know the level of play you have to have for this game. It's very much along the lines of chess. It still has online capabilities to use with other gamers across the globe - which is great. Graphics - not here. Screen shots from the movie for certain events are here in cartoonish form, but that's it. But strategy - OMG is it big. Probably bigger than some of today's games! The bigger the galaxy, the bigger the headache. Hours of play can still be had here. One of my old time favorites for sure.

To me, this is the best Star Wars video game that was ever made. Period. Yes the graphics are dated and the UI is old, but the gameplay is nothing short of stellar! Played the original release back in the days. Although I didn't play much on Steam, I must have close to 1000 hrs of play with this game. Insane replayability. A deep strategic 4X game. Thematic feel. Star Wars. Enough said.

Probably my all-time favourite game. I used to play this on the original release for hours upon hour, and when Steam finally had it, I grabbed it and never looked back. The graphics are dated, the space battle system is buggy, but the replay value is enormous. Games can be as short or as long and drawn out as you want to make them. If there is ever a remaster that I have been waiting for it's this one. All they have to do is revamp the graphics, fix the space battle stuff, maybe a bit of UI work, and this could be amazing. But only if they don't change the game entirely, keep the feel and mechanics, with the old school characters and ships, just update it for modern looks.
